" Millennium Fellowship provides me the perfect platform to utilise my skillsets in the previously mentioned field with institutional support, professionalism, syncreticism, and peer support. And fighting intersectional poverty is a personal goal for me because of the conditionalities that I witnessed while growing up. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Handbook Of Rights
The MCN Handbook of Rights project, led by our Millennium Fellowship cohort, empowers underprivileged university workers by providing accessible information on employment rights, labor laws, and government schemes. Aligned with SDGs 4 (Quality Education) and 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), the project simplifies complex regulations into an easy-to-understand handbook featuring visual aids. Through targeted distribution and awareness sessions, the initiative aims to increase workers' awareness of their rights, enhance confidence in claiming entitlements, and create a lasting resource for their benefit. Despite challenges in accessibility and engagement, the project envisions broader dissemination and digital expansion to ensure sustainable impact.
